Pros

It seems that they have a great safety culture. I learned CPR and general first aid which is great anywhere in life.

Cons

I quit my previous job of 8 years being that I was offered a job at Schlumberger as a temp to hire in a frac crew in williston. Upon completing orientation (2 weeks away from home) and having my flight tickets already purchased, 2 days away from starting field work I was notified that I was going to be apart of the hiring freeze that they announced during the first day of training. Mind you my first interview took place 2 months ago. I am disgusted and have to go out and find other means to pay my mortgage and all my other bills etc. You can imagine how my family has been impacted by this company. Tears have been shed today at my house. Thanks for being completely unreliable schlumberger.
